FI­NANCIER’S £5 MIL­LION DO­NA­TION

A BRI­TISH-JEWISH fi­nancier has do­nated £5m to a project that brings pri­vate school teach­ers to state school stu­dents. Alan Howard, a hedge­fund man­ager worth an es­ti­mated £1.6 bil­lion, has given the money to the United Learn­ing Part­ner­ship Fund. The cash will be used to teach state school stu­dents sub­jects that they would not nor­mally have the chance to study such as clas­sics.
